Three days later, at Sun Moon City!
At the entrance of Dongchen City, one of the eighteen city gates, over a thousand cold-looking Water Cloud Holy Land soldiers stood on both sides with bronze spears in their hands. Their eyes were as sharp as a hawk's as they scanned everyone who wanted to enter the city.
There were many people who wanted to enter the city. Just at the entrance of Dongchen City alone, there were twenty lines of people, and each line had at least ten thousand people!
"Please show your city entry token!" The leader of the group was the Chief Of The Guard. He had bronze skin and muscles on his arms, and he looked very strong and vigorous. He spoke indifferently to everyone who wanted to enter the city!
The person who wanted to enter the city was a rogue cultivator. When he heard the words of the bronze-skinned Chief Of The Guard, he immediately said carefully, "Sir, I don't have a city entry token, but I'm willing to buy one!"
"Sure, a hundred Scarlet Cloud coins!" The bronze-skinned Chief Of The Guard said indifferently. After that, a clerk behind him quickly walked up and handed over a white token.
The rogue cultivator hurriedly took out a hundred Scarlet Cloud coins and handed it over with a helpless expression. He also took back the so-called city entry token!
"The token is effective for ten days. After ten days, you must leave the city. If you want to enter the city again, you must apply for a new entry token!" After taking the rogue cultivator's hundred Scarlet Cloud coins, the bronze-skinned Chief Of The Guard's expression seemed to have eased a little. He then reminded the rogue cultivator.
"Thank you for telling me, sir!" The rogue cultivator's mouth was filled with bitterness, but he could only cup his hands and salute the Chief Of The Guard. After that, he quickly entered the city.
Sun Moon City was the most prosperous city in Tianqi County. There was no other city like it!
Here, it could be said that 'gold' and opportunities were everywhere. As long as one could grasp the opportunity, it was not impossible for one to soar into the sky. It was also because of this reason that even though the entrance fee of Sun Moon City was extremely unreasonable and overbearing, there were still countless cultivators who came from afar every day and poured into Sun Moon City in search of their own opportunities.
The rogue cultivator in front of him was one of them!
A hundred Scarlet Cloud coins wasn't a small sum, but if he could find an opportunity that belonged to him in Sun Moon City, then paying a hundred Scarlet Cloud coins was nothing at all.
You can only get something if you give something up. If you don't want to give something, then don't even think about getting anything!
"Next!" Seeing the rogue cultivator leave, the bronze-skinned Chief Of The Guard continued to speak to the next person, while the line of people slowly crept forward.
No one dared to say anything about such a low efficiency, and no one dared to object. Everyone was like docile lambs, quietly waiting for their turn to enter the city.
The Central imperial realm had existed for countless years, and the Water Cloud Holy Land could be considered a thousand-year-old Holy Land. Naturally, it was impossible for them to not have a solution to the low efficiency of entering the city. The reason for this was very simple. Although Sun Moon City could accommodate over a hundred million people, there was still a limit to how many people it could take in. If the number of people entering the city wasn't controlled, then the entire city would be overcrowded sooner or later!
Therefore, after the Water Cloud Holy Land, the Windward Formation Guild, the Night Formation Guild, and the other major powers in Tianqi County came to a joint decision, Sun Moon City began to limit the number of people entering the city every day since a hundred years ago. Moreover, everyone who wanted to enter the city had to pay an entrance fee, and the fee would only be valid for ten days.
As a result, this decision led to the current situation.
Although there were many people lining up every day, there were only about a hundred thousand people who could truly enter Sun Moon City every day. As for those who couldn't enter the city, they could only temporarily return to the eighteen satellite cities around Sun Moon City, or continue to wait, or simply search for their own opportunities in the satellite cities, giving up on the idea of entering Sun Moon City.
Of course, those with true power, status, and wealth didn't need to line up at all, and they didn't even need to consider the matter of a token to enter the city. They usually took the so-called VIP passage.
At this moment, a group of merchants who didn't even need to line up and could take the so-called VIP passage were speeding towards Sun Moon City from afar.
Very quickly, they arrived at the city gates of Sun Moon City.
"Lord Cao!" Seeing the short and fat old man at the front of this group of merchants, the few guards at the city gate, including the bronze-skinned man, had a change in expression. After which, they quickly walked forward and greeted him with smiles on their faces.
When the people lining up to enter the city saw the insignia on the carriages behind the group of merchants, they immediately hurriedly retreated to the side, and their faces were filled with deep fear.
This was … the Four Directions Financial Group!
The Four Directions Financial Group was one of the great powers in Tianqi County, and it wasn't inferior to the Aqua Cloud Holy Land, the Night Formation Guild, and the Windward Formation Guild. Moreover, the Four Directions Financial Group was famous for human trafficking, and its reputation could be said to be extremely bad. In Tianqi County, there were many people who wanted to destroy the Four Directions Financial Group.
However, the fact that the Four Directions Financial Group was able to stand tall until now, and its business was flourishing without any signs of decline was sufficient to show the terrifying strength and powerful foundation of the Four Directions Financial Group.
Many people had spread rumors that the members of the Four Directions Financial Group weren't just powerful, they were all ruthless and merciless. Once one offended them, then one would definitely not have a good ending!
Thus, when they saw the arrival of the Four Directions Financial Group, practically everyone present was afraid!
"Chief Of The Guard, thank you for your hard work. These are for the Chief Of The Guard!" The short and fat old man instantly chuckled as he gazed at the bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard and the other Chief Of The Guard, and then he clapped his hands. An obedient girl behind him withdrew a few Crimson Cloud Cards and passed them to the bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard and the others.
"Thank you, Lord Cao, for your reward!" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard and the other Chief Of The Guard smiled as well, and then they didn't hesitate to raise their hands and receive the Crimson Cloud Cards.
"If I'm free in a few days, I'll invite the Chief Of The Guard to a banquet. Right now, I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be entering the city first!" The short and fat old man squeezed the horse's belly, and the Thousand Mile Soulchaser Horse beneath him instantly neighed, and then it slowly walked into the city.
"Everyone, move aside!" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard and the other Chief Of The Guard immediately turned around and shouted. When they heard their superior's shout, almost all the guards at the city gate immediately stepped forward and began to forcefully drive away the people who were queuing up obediently. Then, they opened the city gate wide and allowed the short and fat old man and the other members of the Four Directions Financial Group to enter first!
Everyone was furious, but they didn't dare to speak. They all shrunk their heads and watched as the Four Directions Financial Group forcefully cut the line and entered!
On the other hand, the Four Directions Financial Group's procession could be said to be extremely long. One after another, nearly a thousand flying cars slowly drove into Sun Moon City.
"Big Brother!"
The Four Directions Financial Group's line was too long, and it would take some time for them to enter the city. The Chief Of The Guard didn't need to wait here forever, so they turned around and planned to leave. However, just as they took a few steps, a heroic young man suddenly jumped down from the Four Directions Financial Group's fleet. Then, this heroic young man shouted at the bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard with a loud laugh.
"Little Zhen!" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard and the other Chief Of The Guard immediately turned around and saw the newcomer. The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard and the other Chief Of The Guard smiled and stopped in their tracks, waiting for this heroic young man to come over.
"Greetings, Big Brothers!" This heroic young man cupped his hands and bowed to the other Chief Of The Guard with a smile.
"Not bad, Little Zhen. We haven't seen each other for a year, and you've actually snuck into the Four Directions Financial Group!"
"Since you've joined the Four Directions Financial Group, your big brother doesn't have to worry about your future anymore!"
"The Four Directions Financial Group is very rich. Little Zhen, if we need any cultivation resources in the future, you can't be stingy!"
The Chief Of The Guard all laughed and joked.
"Big Brothers, you're too serious. If you need Little Zhen's help in the future, Little Zhen will definitely not refuse!" This heroic young man immediately replied with a smile.
"Alright, I won't disturb you two any longer. Let's go. If we have time later, let's have a drink together!" The other Chief Of The Guard all laughed and left, leaving behind only the bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard and the heroic young man.
"How have you been this year?" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard asked softly with a smile.
"Not bad!" The heroic young man also replied with a smile.
"That's good. Work hard. Although the Four Directions Financial Group doesn't have a good reputation, it definitely has a bright future!" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard patted the heroic young man's shoulder and said with satisfaction.
"Yes, I know!" The heroic young man replied with a smile.
"Alright, let's not talk anymore. Your financial group is about to enter the city. You should hurry back. When you're done with your business, come find me!" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard said again.
"Okay!" The heroic young man nodded. Then he turned around and was about to leave, but he seemed to remember something. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stopped, took a step forward, and whispered to the bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard, "Big Brother, do you know what goods we're transporting this time?"
"Oh?" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard was taken aback, then said subconsciously, "What goods?"
"This batch of goods is very important, very important, and they're something you'll never know!" The heroic young man licked his lips, then lowered his voice and said, "They're the remnants of the Magic Kingdom!"
"The remnants of the Magic Kingdom?" The bronze skinned Chief Of The Guard was stunned and did not immediately react. But in the next second, he reacted, and then his pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a trace of unconcealable surprise in his voice as he said, "You mean the Magic Kingdom? The remnants of the Magic Kingdom? "
